Peter, I took a lot of photos of the marshals, and posted links to Google albums. These proved popular, so I am glad to see you catching a few. Maybe you could post on the marshals section?

[Peter Mallett]

Will do.

Good set of pics again, Bob. Particularly the Corvair in post 736. Not a car you see racing much in the UK but probably a lot more in the US.
I also like the 1950s/1960s sports racers in post 737 but a lot I can't name so I thought I'd ask an expert what the silver car reg. no. XPA 748 is. Any ideas EB?

As Chris is not up yet I am sure it is a Jaguar engined HWM.

I believe its an early fifties HWM Jaguar . Another one I like is (I think) the #23 MG Playford in the last pic. of that set.
Indeed Baub, some fine pics there. Love the sports cars but funnily enough recently watched a doco on TV about the Corvair. although that was more about the 4 door

Interesting video here re the what I guess were like a homologation special Yenko Stinger Corvair US Racecars. About 6:15 is video of a race with about 30 of them racing on track together. https://youtu.be/L37cTyfQJ2I

Edit: Sorry didnt notice 'young' Bob (RBS) beat me to it. I was watching the Corvair video I linked above and forgot to click submit

XPA 748 is an HWM Jaguar. In the past couple of years Gregor Fisken has restored it to its original green colour and Jake Hill won the Freddie March Memorial Trophy at the 2024 Goodwood Revival in the car. This Fiskens advert goes into some details on that particular chassis' history.

Often driven by George Abecasssis in period.

Great to see the marshalls either in action, resting or even eating icecreams. I never forget we would not have been able to race without them.

Thanks for the info. I should have said EB or rbs in my post.
